REKAB — My Reflections LP 2x12"

ReKab – My Reflections LP arrives on System One Records as catalogue LLPSYST1003, a double 12-inch vinyl that revisits the artist’s third album with a fresh, analog-centric presentation. The release slots into System One’s focus on soulful, late-night techno, drawing on early-90s UK, Frankfurt and Detroit aesthetics while retaining a contemporary edge. Its arrival follows the label’s recent reissues of ReKab’s Analogue Isolation and Subtle Beginnings, both issued earlier in 2026, and continues a series of deep, emotive works championed by label head D. Howard. System One’s 2026 output has been marked by a string of releases that frame My Reflections within a cohesive catalogue. Earlier this year Darren Nye’s Lunar Refraction EP (12SYST1003) explored similar intergalactic textures, while Jim Thompson’s High Score Table EP (12SYST1002) and D. Howard’s Intergrate EP (12SYST1001) reinforced the label’s commitment to late-night grooves. Within ReKab’s own discography on System One, the double-LP follows Analogue Isolation (LPSYST1001) and Subtle Beginnings (LPSYST1002), both also 2×12-inch vinyl, establishing a clear continuity of sound and presentation. Side A opens with “Ice creams everyday”, a title that hints at a breezy, melodic ambience, setting a reflective tone that eases the listener into the record’s mood. It is followed by “What I’ve Been Searching For”, which sustains the contemplative atmosphere while expanding the groove, offering a seamless transition that encourages a sustained dancefloor flow. Side B introduces “Cling Klong”, a track whose title evokes percussive texture, providing a subtle shift in rhythm that deepens the set’s momentum. “Forced Upwards” continues this development, pushing the energy forward and preparing the listener for the brighter shift that arrives on the next side. Side C opens with “Summer Heat”, a title that conjures warmth and brightness, delivering a sun-lit groove that contrasts with the previous side’s darker hues. “Sky’s Up” lifts the mood further, offering an airy, expansive feel that works well as a peak moment in a late-night set. Side D concludes with “The Lightest Touch”, a gentle closing that eases the intensity while maintaining rhythmic interest, and “Better Days”, which rounds off the LP with an optimistic, forward-looking vibe, leaving space for the next track in a DJ’s set. Within ReKab’s catalogue, My Reflections builds on the sonic language established on Analogue Isolation and Subtle Beginnings, reinforcing the artist’s reputation for crisp drum programming, emotive pads and analogue melodies that echo early-90s techno while sounding fully contemporary. The record’s placement in System One’s 2026 lineup underscores the label’s dedication to preserving and re-contextualising deep, soulful electronic works for the vinyl format. For DJs, the double-LP offers a versatile toolkit: the opening tracks on side A provide a smooth entry point for warm-up sets, the B-side cuts deliver a subtle build-up suitable for mid-set transitions, while the C-side tracks inject a bright, uplifting energy ideal for peak moments. The D-side finishes supply a calm yet rhythmic resolution, perfect for winding down a set or linking to more melodic selections. Collectors will appreciate the continuity of ReKab’s reissued material on System One, the thoughtful sequencing, and the label’s commitment to high-quality analog releases. The record is presented as a 2×12-inch vinyl package, reflecting System One’s focus on analog presentation and the tactile experience of deep techno. Its format aligns with the label’s broader aesthetic of delivering immersive, late-night grooves on vinyl.
